(2014)

This research work exposes the novel approach of analysis at existing works based on machine vision system for the identification of the visual symptoms of Cotton crop diseases, from RGB images. Diseases regions of cotton crops are revealed in digital pictures, Which were amended and segmented. In this work Proposed Enhanced PSO feature selection method adopts Skew divergence method and user features like Edge,Color,Texture variances to extract the features. Set of features was extracted from each of them. The extracted feature was input to the SVM, Back propagation neural network (BPN),Fuzzy with Edge CYMK color feature and GA feature selection. Tests were performed to identify the best classification model. It has been hypothesized that from the given characteristics of the images, there should be a subset of features more informative of the image domain.To test this hypothesis, three classification models were assessed via crossvalidation. To Evaluate its efficiency of six types of diseases have been accurately classified like Bacterial Blight, Fusariumwilt, Leaf Blight, Root rot, Micro Nurient, Verticilium Wilt.The Experimental results obtained show that the robust feature vector set which is an Enhancement of a feature extraction method (EPSO) has been afforded the performance assessment of this system.

Introduct ion Data mining is the process of extracting patterns from the data and to transform raw data into information.. It is commonly utilized in a broad range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection, agriculture environment and scientific discovery. Among other things, the most prominent features of data mining techniques are clustering and predictive. The benefits of data mining are its capability to gain deeper perceptive of the patterns using current available exposure capabilities . In this work categorization of the cotton leaf diseases are done using data mining with image processing techniques. The main target is to identify the disease in the leaf spot of the cotton crops. In this regard, It is discussed that about 80 to 90 percentage disease on the Cotton crops are on its leaf spot [1]. Consequently areas of interest is that identifying the leaf of the cotton tree rather than whole cotton plant the cotton leaf is mostly suffered from diseases like fungus, virus, Foliar leaf spot of cotton, Alternaria leaf spot of cotton. The machine visualization system right now is usually contained on computer, digital camera and application software. Various kinds of algorithms are incorporated in the application software. Image processing analysis is one significant method that helps to segment the image into objects and background. One of the key steps in image analysis is feature detection.Plant disease reduces the production and quality of food, fiber and biofuel crops. Image processing has fascinated many researchers in the area of pattern recognition and technique combined with data mining are applied to trace out the leaf spots from the of plant leaves, which helps in diagnosing the cotton leaf spot diseases accurately The image processing techniques are extensively applied to agricultural science, and it has great perspective, especially in the plant protection field, which ultimately leads to crop management. Image analysis can be applied for the following purposes: 1. To detect diseased leaf, stem, fruit, root 2. To enumerate affected area by disease. 3. To find the boundaries of the affected area. A moreover leaf spot is a major component of the crops [2]. The diseases can be easily recognized with the help of the polluted vicinity of the crop. Usually the leaves will naturally going to focus the impure part in a clear way which can be easily identified. Generally by naked eyes we can easily identify the infected region. So we can say the transform in the crop color is the imperative feature for the notification. When the health of the crop is in good stage then the color of the crop is dissimilar but as soon as the crop is going to affected by some harming pathogens, the color transforms automatically. Crop diseases have turned into a dilemma because it may cause a diminution in productivity [3]. In this research work described that goal of identifying foliar diseases in cotton plantations. The primary goal of the developed system has been to identify the existence of pathogens in cotton fillers. Once a disease is identified it has to be automatically classified through further processing of the corresponding image. A survey conducted in one of south zone particular Tamil Nadu at Andhiyur district. During the investigation congregate from the farmers' side gathered the suggestion about the cotton crop diseases details. In this work organized about the Section 2. Literature survey, Section 3. Motivation, Problem Analysis, Section 4. Material and Methods, Section 5. Comparative studies, Section 6. Result and Discussion, Section 7. Conclusion and Acknowledgment, References. II. Literature Survey The proposed work describes about the diagnosis of cotton leaves using various approaches suggesting that the various implementation ways as illustrated and discussed below. Hui Li et al., in the year 2011 has been implemented the Web-Based Intelligent Diagnosis System for Cotton Diseases Control system the author proposed a BP neural network for his system. International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Technology (ISSN : 2277-1581) Volume No.3, Issue No.1 pp : 22-30 1 Jan 2014 IJSET@2014 Page 23 A research scheme was designed for the system test, in which 80 samples, including 8 main species of diseases, 10 samples in each sort were included. The result showed the rate of correctness that system could identify the symptom was 89.5% in average, and the average running time for a diagnosis was 900ms [4].Yan Cheng Zhang et al., ( 2007 ) proposed fuzzy feature selection approach fuzzy curves (FC) and fuzzy surfaces (FS) – to select features and classification of cotton disease levels. [5]. Syed A. Health et al., In this research work discussed about the automated system that can identify the pest and disease affecting parts such as cotton leaf, boll or flower. In this work proposed a CMYK based image cleaning technique to remove shadows, hands and other impurities from images. The outcomes are tested over a database consisting of 600 images to classify the presented image as a leaf, boll or flower [6]. Bernardes A. A. et al., ( 2011) proposed method for automatic classification of cotton diseases through feature extraction of leaf symptoms from digital images. Wavelet transform energy has been used for feature extraction while SVM has been used for classification. The image set of supposedly adulterated leaves was classified within one of the four other sub-classes, namely: MA, RA, AS, and NONE. Finally obtained were: 96.2% accuracy for the SA class, 97.1% accuracy for the MA class, 80% accuracy for the RA class, and 71.4% accuracy for the AS class [7]. Meunkaewjinda. A, et al., (2008). In his work the cotton leaf disease segmentation is performed using modified self organizing feature map with genetic algorithms for optimization and support vector machines for classification. Finally, the resulting segmented image is filtered by Gabor wavelet which allows the system to analyze leaf disease color features more efficiently [8]. Gulhane. V. A et al. (2011) This work described Self organizing feature map together with a back-propagation neural network is used to recognize the color of the image. Finally find out the classification of the cotton diseases [9]. Viraj A. Gulhane. e tal., (2012).This proposed work addresses about the disease analysis is possible for the cotton leaf disease recognition, the analysis of the various diseases present on the cotton leaves can be effectively detected in the early stage before it will injure the whole crops, initially we can be able to detect three types of diseases of the cotton leaves by the methodology of Eigen feature regularization and extraction technique. In this method 90% of detection of Red spot i.e. fungal disease is detected, it is most dangerous disease; it can highly affect the productivity of the cotton crop in more extent. And if it detects in early stage we can say that, we able to make better manufacture [10]. Qinghai He et al., (2013). In this paper the author described RGB color model, HIS color model, and YCbCr color model for extracting the injured image from cotton leaf images were developed.. The ratio of damage (γ) was chosen as feature to measure the degree of damage which caused by diseases or pests. In this work shows the comparison of the results obtained by implementing in different color models, the comparison of outcomes shows good accuracy in both color models and YCbCr color space is considered as the best color model for extracting the damaged image [11]. III.
